What Exactly Do Atheists Believe In? by Nobody: 7:36pm On Jul 06, 2016 |
I have taken time to analyze statements of Atheists like Seun (NL owner), Ymodulus and I've noticed conflicts in their statements. Sometimes, their statements potray the fact that God does not exist and at other times, their statements potray God as wicked. Now, i need clarifications. Which of these do you guys (Atheists) believe or stand for: 1. God does not exist. 2. God is wicked. Awaiting your responses. |

Atheists do not believe in God. That's all. It's not a secret society. Atheism, like Theism, is an empty philosophy on its own. It says nothing about a person's character, values, or opinions on issues. I don't believe God exists. GOD is a title given to various supernatural beings. Yahweh for the Christian. Allah for the Muslim. Chukwu to the Igbos. and so forth. Is God wicked? Oh yeah, the God of the Bible exhibits a brutish character, if we take the Bible to be His Word. 3 Likes |

Atheists do not believe that God exists, just as you do not believe that Superman exists. This is true of all atheists. When we talk about God, we're talking about the God character in the Bible, or Quran, just as we might talk about the Superman in the movies. 4 Likes 2 Shares |

Macelliot: Smh, common sense is really not common. I ddnt say they are not different, i only said there is no contradiction. A fictional character (a character that doesnt exist) is very wicked. e.g voldemort, god, the wicked stepmother,the big bad wolf If you think there is something wrong with the above statement, then i dnt need to waste my time with you... 2 Likes |

The concept of God doesn't exist is funny.. Maybe the word God is overused.. I think everyone should start calling the Creator in their own dialects.. I believe in Chukwu Okike Abiama. |
Re: What Exactly Do Atheists Believe In? by Nobody: 8:02pm On Jul 06, 2016 |
donnffd: Based on your earlier response, there is obviously a huge difference. It would have made more sense if you made this new clarification earlier. |

Macelliot:To generalize, when an atheist is talking about God, he/she is talking about the God his counterpart imagines to exist. That could be Chukwu. |

Well op, There's a little misconception you having about atheists which you don't realize, I m gonna make it clear. I'm proud atheist and atheist is the opposite of theists. Who are theists? Theists are believers then its only logical that Atheist/ Anti-teists are Unbelievers. To further buttress more. I, as an atheist can't tell you God don't exist because, the science I deal with hasn't been able to prove OR disprove the existence of one so therefore, God is conjectural and psychedelic to science and in that light, we don't believe in no such thing as God. Another thing is even if God exist, I for one can't share the same universe with God who want to be praised all the time, I mean all the time, that to me seems like a sadist God. To top it up off, God so much love me, that he created hell, Just in case I don't love him back. 5 Likes |

aaronson:You described God in Christian/muslim way. Africa spirituality believes in God. The most intelligent scientists that ever liveth, Albert Einstein is a Pan-theist. He believe that, There is God, but not a personal one. That God does not belong to Christians, muslims, pagans, budhists e.t.c God is universal, the beginner of all things and doesn't belong to relligion. 1 Like 1 Share |

Macelliot: Lol! I'm no atheist. A theist, and a proud one at that. I only pick interest in understanding reasons behind different people's thought-patterns. CAPSLOCKED made the ascertion that God is a "drunk fraudster", and i wanted him to clarify his statement. That's all. |

Macelliot:You also making a misconception sir, let me set you straight. First, I know Albert Einstein like I know my name, I had spent about 3month straight just to study the life of Einstein, He wasn't the most intelligent physicist ever lived and when he was even asked, he said Nikola Tesla as being smarter than him even, what got Albert famous was his discovery of Theory of relativity/ Einstein time dilation & without his wife and Tesla he wouldn't have even gotten the theory right. That's number misconception. 2- Einstein was a pantheist and who is a pantheist?, A pantheist sees the universe as his God intead of the myopic ideal of a personal God which Einstein conceptualized as been irrational, that why he said, he has no personal God but the Universe is all he know, why was that? Because of quantum mechanic, With quantum mechanics you can understand nature of the universe, The big bang theory and the possibility of a multiverse. That's why Einstein said "Two things are infinite, the universe and s tupidy but I doubt the former". Now to Religion When I say, God I don't mean only the christian or Muslim God, Goddamn it! I mean everything, object, substance, diety, fetishes etc that can be consider god and be worshipped, No immunity to anyone be it Yahwey, Rastafari Jah, Jews God, Greek mythodology etc, they are all God/gods and to me, it's F uck all of them, *Dem Neva Baff* Now, how I know you ignorant of Religion is when I saw Buddism as part of a God, WTF? Buddha Existed! Confusius Exist as a matter of fact let me lay a reality of you. China is technically an atheists country but Tibet in china is the religious infested part where the buddhism and the likes is being believed, Buddha lived an iconic life which is worth emulating and not like you psychopath yahweh who would burn me in hell. Wait a minute, I need to go write my will before your God will burn me in hell eternally in case I don't wake up tomorrow. 1 Like 1 Share |

This was written by High Priest of atheism Richard Dawkins in 1995 The total amount of suffering per year in the natural world is beyond all decent contemplation. During the minute that it takes me to compose this sentence, thousands of animals are being eaten alive, many others are running for their lives, whimpering with fear, others are slowly being devoured from within by rasping parasites, thousands of all kinds are dying of starvation, thirst, and disease. It must be so. If there ever is a time of plenty, this very fact will automatically lead to an increase in the population until the natural state of starvation and misery is restored. In a universe of electrons and selfish genes, blind physical forces and genetic replication, some people are going to get hurt, other people are going to get lucky, and you won’t find any rhyme or reason in it, nor any justice. The universe that we observe has precisely the properties we should expect if there is, at bottom, no design, no purpose, no evil, no good, nothing but pitiless indifference. He also supports the killing of unborn babies - abortion . He does not give life and supports the killing of a developing life . Such wickedness ! 1 Like 1 Share |
